If the change were system-wide, then conceivably yes. Per-user changes,
not so much.

Actually all Evo needs to do is include a hook to read a per-user config
XML file while starting up. Doesn't sound hard, but for some reason
no-one has got round to implementing it. If so, it might be case of the
best being enemy of the good, i.e. "it's too much work to implement
config dialogues for the UI, and making the user edit XML files doesn't
conform to the HIG standards, so tough luck". I'm speculating of course.
